Summary:
The Mexico High is the sole high school located in the Mexico 59 school district in Missouri. Serving grades 9-12, the school has an enrollment of 760 students and is classified as a public high school.
Mexico High's performance metrics show areas for improvement. While the school maintains a strong 92.9% four-year graduation rate, its proficiency rates on standardized tests lag behind state and district averages. For example, in Algebra I, Mexico High scored 30.9% proficiency compared to 38.9% for the district and 45.4% for the state. The school also faces challenges with a 19.9% chronic absenteeism rate and serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite spending $12,101 per student and maintaining a reasonable 17.2 student-teacher ratio, Mexico High's academic performance indicates the need for targeted interventions to support student success. While the school's challenges are notable, further analysis and strategic improvements could help Mexico High better serve its students and the surrounding community.
